A day in the life of a single mom raising a teenager and a child with autism. I believe that it's not what we receive, but what we give away that defines us. I want to give away all that I have learned and experienced in hopes that it will help families raising a child with autism or any disability. This is my candid journal where I open up my world and share my joys, knowledge, lessons, disappointments, challenges, frustrations, fears and successes - one day at a time.

Plop Plop Fizz Fizz the sound of crashing expectations

It's christmas eve morning. Nicky is sick,cranky and screaming. Evyn is just cranky. It's 9:00 and she is letting me know - in no uncertain terms - that she is angry about going to celebrate Christmas Eve with the family. I suggested that she just wait on being angry until the time get's a little closer and enjoy her day. She just glared. Oh well! Yahoo to be a teen.
